"What happened?" asked her cousin, Taylor.
"My earring! It's gone!"replied Shenice.
"Which earring?" asked Taylor, seeing her cousin's panicked expression.
"My diamond ones."
"That's the thing, I wasn't," she replied. "They were in my jewelery box."
"Are you sure?" asked Taylor.
"Yes, I'm sure," Shenice replied. "And I think it was stolen ."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Stolen?" asked Taylor, shocked. "Who said anything about the earring being stolen?"
"Well," began Shenice. "I looked around the jewelery box for proof and I found several leads. First of all, one of my necklaces is broken, but it was perfectly fine when I put it in. Second, my jewelery box was moved a few feet from where I put it. And -,"
But before she could go on Taylor interupted. "Shenice, none of this stuff points to your earring being stolen. All of what you mentioned probobly has a simple explanation. And anyway, if someone was going to steal it, wouldn't they take both earrings?!"
"That brings me to my last clue," replied Shenice cooly. "Do you remember when McDonald's was giving girls dolls and boys spy stuff with their Happy Meals? We thought the spy stuff was cool and asked for the boy toys."
"Yeah," replied Taylor. "What's that got to do with anything?"
"Well," replied Shenice, "I got a motion detector and I got it to stand up in the back of my of jewlery box, and my guess is that when the thief reached to grab an earring, the detector went off and the thief didn't relize it was just a toy and ran off."
Just then, Shenice's dog, Bell, began barking wildly at the closed closet door.
"What is it girl?"asked Shenice as she reached out to open the door to Taylor's closet.
"Don't open that!" shouted Taylor quickly. "If you open that door all my stuff will come pouring out." Shenice laughed and opened the closet door.

How can you do this to me? I must know what is in that closet!!!! Please tell me! Come on, I am your dad! Tell me what is the closet or you are grounded for a month!!! I won't sleep until i know what's in that closet!!! And tell Shenice to keep that closet organized or she will be grounded too. Hey, maybe i can help her clean it out, and then i will know what is in it. Okay, then. What is her number? I must call her right now and offer to help! Wow, what a thrilling story. I bet there is a dog in there, right? Or is it a guy names FJ? I can't wait to find out. I love you, Charis. Addyday.
